The Best Way to Care for Your Dog’s Immune System and Joints

As a dog mom, my dogs mean everything to me. I have my girls on set schedules for feeding, play time, nap time and just about everything in their daily lives revolves around a schedule. Their happiness and health are extremely important to me. Both my girls are German Shepherds as you can see by the images below. Makia, (below) is nine months. She is the love of my life.

Makia nine-months

Shiloh is nine weeks old and just the sweetest baby ever! But, while German Shepherds are notorious for having joint issues, I’m positive mine will never have joint issues for a few different reasons. First, their breeding background, Makia and Shiloh have an amazing pedigree. As far back as you could look into the generations of parents, grandparents and generation after generation of great grandparents, all of their all of their ancestors have been tested for hip and elbow at the age of two and even after, all coming back with nothing but positive results.

In addition, I had genetic testing done on both of my girls and they are not a carrier of any of the normal disease German Shepherds get, nor do they have any of the typical bad genes known to German Shepherd or other breeds.

However, we all know that wear and tear along with age can still cause joint problems and pain. And while my girls have amazing backgrounds, they are not except from having old-age joint issues. Nor are they except from injury that can later cause joint issues. And because of this, I make sure I give my girls supplements to aid them in having not only amazing joints, but amazing immune systems as well.

Both my girls take NuVet supplements, and I don’t have to force feed them to either of them. I think they assume they are treats and thus eat them as soon as I give the supplements to them. And then, they look to see if I have more. I guess that means they taste good, cause my girls are picky.

NuVet Plus® K-9 Wafers

The wafers are used to support your dog’s immune system. They are made from natural, human grade ingredients and are formulated to fight free radicals. They also have some unique ingredients such as cat’s claw, evening primrose oil, papain, and pine bark.
